There are a number of ways to introduce your kids to the Star Wars franchise. Some methods include showing the original trilogy first, then waiting for re-releases on Blu-ray or 3-D DVDs. Other methods include starting with Episode I and the prequels before introducing them to the new films. However, no matter which method you use, be sure to introduce the franchise slowly. After all, your kids will eventually grow up and become adults.

Rogue One

Rogue One contains a high body count and some violent scenes, but it’s not a horror movie. The movie does depict a lot of destruction, and there is a brief hologram scene of an alien female dancing. While some elements of the film might be scary for younger children, others aren’t. These are just some of the topics to keep in mind when talking to your kids about the film.

The story of Rogue One is set before the events of A New Hope. The film starts out with a young girl named Jyn running home when she sees an Imperial ship overhead. Her parents are aware that her life is in danger and quickly send her a message to a rebel, Saw Gerrera. After seeing the threat, she runs back to her parents who are already aware of her danger.

Episode I The Phantom Menace

If you have kids, you may want to start with Episode I: The Phantom Menace. This film is the first of a series of prequels. It stars Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, respectively. The movie revolves around an intergalactic trade war between the Trade Federation and the peaceful planet of Naboo. The plot is complicated and involves lots of big effects sequences. You might find yourself chuckling as you watch it – a snarky reference to the original trilogy if you ask me.

While the first film of the original trilogy, Episode I was received with positive reviews from audiences, and it captured the imagination of an entire generation of younglings. The movie may have had its share of dopey decisions, but it’s hard to deny the sheer spectacle and sense of fun it provided to the audience. This is a classic and will make you want to watch it again.

Episode II The Empire Strikes Back

The film opens with Darth Vader leading Imperial forces onto Hoth. Luke and his crew escape to the ramshackle ship of galactic fortune hunter Han Solo, who is also involved in a bickering romance with Princess Leia. Darth Vader brutally interrogates the crew and orders stormtroopers to find technical readouts of the Death Star.

This sci-fi classic features some dark emotional content, especially the final sequence. The dark and jarring scenes in the film are packed with emotional weight, and the film’s ending is notorious for leaving viewers feeling devastated. Parents, particularly young kids, should be aware of the movie’s emotional content before letting their children watch it. Here are some tips to help them navigate the film and have fun at the same time.

Episode III The Force Awakens

The newest Star Wars movie is a highly anticipated release. This latest installment of the Star Wars franchise is packed with action and comedy, but there are some warnings for young viewers. While this film isn’t as dark as Episode III, there are still some violent scenes. While younger children might not be able to sit still for 2 hours 15 minutes, it is still suitable for older children.

This Star Wars film is not violent, but there are some scenes that could be too scary for younger viewers. For example, Han Solo stuffs Luke into a tauntaun, and Princess Leia is chained to Jabba the Hutt in a revealing outfit. In addition, there is a tragic scene in which young Anakin and his friends die in a way that is difficult for even adults.

Episode IV A New Hope

Star Wars fans can use the “Star Wars” film as an opportunity to discuss serialisation. This is an important part of responsible parenting as kids will see the film as the final chapter in a story that they’re involved in. If you’re having trouble finding ways to communicate with your kids about Episode IV A New Hope, consider these tips:

The plot of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope is a classic sci-fi action blockbuster. The masked Darth Vader creates a menacing presence and engages in violence. Another central character dies but then returns later. While the language in this movie is generally mild, it contains some insults and some references to religion. However, some families may take issue with the spiritual philosophies presented in the movie.
